| | We'll miss you, Kirby. Kirby is probably my favorite, and 85% of Minnesotans favorite, athlete of all time. Its too bad he never got to clear his name or redeem himself after all those allegations. But I kind of see that as someone trying to get famous off of someone else's mistake, and the media totally exploiting it out of proportion. I think he handled the whole situation with dignity, though. Kirby definately brought more joy and excitement to Minnesota than any other sports figure, at least in my lifetime. Hats off to you, Kirby.
Does anyone remember when David Letterman did his show in Minneapolis? If not, here's the Top Ten List from that episode:
